Philippians 4: 6-7 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Do you wish and desire to have this peace? If so, your relationship with God must be reconciled through Jesus first. Ask Jesus to forgive you. Admit hat you are a sinner and turn from your sinful ways. Tell Christ that you wish Him to take control of your life. Believe in Him. Trust in Him and then His peace, not our peace, will become our peace.

Such true words, I needed to hear that today. I have so been far away from God. What else has God told you to tell me?

The last time you were stressed out about something did you drop to your knees and begin praying? I am a believer and i know how hard it is to pray when everything around you Job, kids, neighbors etc. are going crazy right before you. Ever had a really bad day when you were pissed off at the world and in just a terrible mood? How hard is it to pray then? Do you even think of praying at that moment? What is it like for you when you get down and pray and ask God for all these things you've stated and then open your eyes and nothing has changed? I know these are a lot of questions but before you can become one with God you must first be one with yourself or all the little promises you make will fall away like dust in a heavy breeze. Words don't mean a thing if you don't have the spirit to back them up.

I'm very much at peace. I don't worry and I have perfect faith. But not through your dogma or anyone else's.
Glad your belief system works for you. But believing is what people do who don't know for sure. If someone asked if you have a penis, would you say "I believe I do"? I imagine you would know from first hand experience (so to speak).
Don't particularly want to give you a hard time. But it's rude to try to shove your religion down other people's throats by assuming that yours is the only right way.

I do, and I always ask for forgiveness. I am in the front of the line when it comes to admitting Im a sinner.
I am at war with my worries.

For too long we have been bound by Christianity, made out to be sinners when we have done nothing wrong. 2000 years have passed since Christ paid for our sins, but did we ask him to? No.
Ask yourselves, how much longer do we have to suffer for being who we are, another 2000 years maybe?
For too long Satanism has been misunderstood, and blamed for the wrongs of this world. Surely it is God who is wrong for being so intolerant?
After all what father is so impatient that he is displeased with his children, and cannot simply love, and accept them for who they are?
Does he hate us so much that he abandons us and our children to endure the pains of life alone?
It is fear alone that binds us to him, but we do not fear god, we pity him, he is a failure as a parent, and his reign is nearing its end.
As Satanists we would be first to point out that we are not blood drinking child killers, although there are probably so called Satanists of this sort out there, it is not a conformity of Satanism.
Satanism is about not being ashamed of who you are, about recognising yourself as just another animal. We are allowed to love and care as it is an animal instinct, but so too is lust, greed, gluttony, pride, sloth, envy and wrath. Nature programmed us to have these natural instincts so that we could survive, Lust that we may procreate, wrath that we may defend ourselves when threatened, greed and gluttony that we may want more for ourselves and eat more in desolate times to survive, envy that we may strive to become a better race by not being satisfied with what we have and pride that we may care about ourselves enough to even want to survive.
With this in mind why say sorry to a god who defies the very foundations of nature. It is learning to accept these so called “sins” as a natural facet of our personalities that allows us to perform other emotions, such as love, kindness, sympathy and care, so much better then people who hold theses natural emotions in.
In other words if we give vent to our bad emotions in a controlled manner, by indulging in our natural desires (as long as its not hurting anybody). It leaves us free to express our good emotions so much better.
But Satanism is a label, we may be Satanists but we are also working members of the community, many of us have children who we love dearly and would never dream of hurting, children are our future so let’s not label them sinners before they’re even born.
We have room in our lives for anyone that merits it. We are free from guilt, if we do something wrong we acknowledge it and learn from it. We repent to ourselves, for it is ourselves we have wronged, and if we wrong someone else we repent to them, not to some God who calls us sinners, simply because we are doing what nature programmed us to do.
Satanism is making a come back, we will be silenced no more, it’s about time God moved over and gave someone else a chance, This Christmas ask yourselves one thing, why are you celebrating Christmas, chances are it’s because everybody else is, because it’s become a way of life, don’t get us wrong as Satanists we’re all for family enjoyment, we love giving gifts and having feasts and celebrating the season, but should we use the birth of a man who’s teachings we don’t even follow as an excuse for a good time?
On top of this Jesus wasn’t even born on December the 25th, do your research, Christmas was originally the pagan festival Yule until the Christians stepped in and threatened the Pagans with death and torture if they didn’t abandon their beliefs, The ancient Pagan/Celtic way of life was peaceful until the Threats of the Christian church and their impotent God instilled ONCE AGAIN fear in the minds of man.
The church and Christianity has always been a religion of fear, using the excuse that you will burn if you disobey, Labelling infants sinners as soon as they are born, every time you Christen a child you are calling them a sinner.
How many Christians actually follow the teachings of their own God, if they did they would not be wearing expensive jewellery, perfumes, cosmetics etc. because god states clearly that this is an exhibition of pride and that makes you a sinner and all sinners shall perish.
If mankind wants to follow a belief system, then at least follow one which fits in with the 21st century way of life, at least follow one which is adhered to, but most importantly follow one that is real.
We are enslaved to a religion because the government and churches are too stubborn to admit its full of contradictions and hypocrisy.
VOTE SATAN this Christmas, forget God choose Satan, choose freedom, stand up and say “I am not a sinner, I am what I am!”.
